McPeak and Akers Finish 9th in Chicago
Holly McPeak and Angie Akers went 2-2 at the AVP Crocs Tour Chicago Open and took home 9th place in the event. With that finish, they split $2,600.
Their weekend started strong, as they defeated 25th-seeded Courtney Guerra and Janelle Ruen and 9th-seeded Jenny Kropp and Nancy Mason. With those two wins under their belt, they had to face the top-seeded team of Misty May-Treanor and Kerri Walsh and lost in two games.
Their weekend came to an end in their next round match, as they fell to 14th-seeded Laruen Fendrick and Paula Roca in a three-game marathon.
Next up is the AVP Crocs Tour Open in Brooklyn, N.Y. next weekend, July 18-20. If you are in the area, come on out to watch all the action.
